Work History

I am responsible for all the technology decisions and implementation inside the Consortium. I migrated monolithic Joomla Website/CRM/Search system into modern microservices based application pattern using WordPress, Django and Solr Search. This allowed us to implement modern design and much quicker development of new services for staff and members. We are now maintaining 5 major sites and a dozen of archive sites.

Additional responsibilities include consulting with our member institutions on technology choices, content metadata and evaluating new technological opportunities.

This is a remote position with staff and consortium members distributed globally in all time zones.

I was responsible for product development and experience of user-facing side of Viidea’s platform. The work consists of transforming complex technology developed for VideoLectures.net into simple package that can be used by wider variety of institutions. I used Python (Django), HTML5/CSS and JavaScript (jQuery).

Additional responsibilities included marketing and basic copywriting, working with customers that need their conferences recorded and published on our platform and support for existing users of the platform.

Developed initial JavaScript and WordPress version of interactive widget. As company grew and acquired VC funding, shifted roll to community management and developer relations. Coordinated marketing work with partners and coworkers in New York and San Francisco.

Client Work

Val202, Radio Prvi and Radio ARS, Radio-Television of Slovenia, WordPress (2011-present)

Lead development of redesign of Val202.si – biggest Slovenian Radio station. After we successfully transitioned their news room to a modern web platform, we updated initial design to match modern responsive web standards (2013). Building on that work, we are now in process of integrating two additional radio stations from within the organization (2015) – Radio Prvi and Radio ARS (other two biggest stations).

In addition to custom WordPress work, we’ve also implemented integration with their in-house scheduling systems as well as 3rd party services such as Google Docs and Soundcloud. http://www.val202.si
